I just started using plain GS pages and the 18n search to list a blog page then I just manually type every new posting link in to the component sidebar, was the only SEO optimized way I could figure out how to do it. Wish I had time to spend studying php, would love to create a standardized news blog plugin that stored all of its data the same way pages are stored. All it needs is to store pages with meta data, tags etc and be able to list article titles for recent posts. The SEO is really the best part of Wordpress and was trying to at least clone off some of its blogging backend.
Know Special pages is suppose to be great but the way it formats the URL's for blogs is unacceptable for SEO reasons so ended up stuck using the regular GS pages and just made them all Childs of the blog. Hoping to spend more time studying all of that to maybe get what I want out of it. Unfortunately the only tutorials on it that I was trying to access are of course invalid links.
In my head it sounds simple enough but I cant even type a basic php echo without looking up syntax so doubt that will happen any way soon.
The news manager really would be the best way if i could just squeeze that major SEO requirement out of it. For a single style web site having categories really isnt a big deal with the tag cloud, the no meta description and info storage is what ive been fighting with past few days since most of the content is there and with the inconsistency it does knock off some seo points. I am considering installing a completely separate blogging engine to deal with it because its had me tied up for so long.
